520 |a Are specific religious beliefs related to interpretations of stressful events and available coping resources? The present study addressed this by assessing appraisals, general religiousness, and two specific beliefs—verticality (deity-centered vs. person-focused approach to religion) and God image—in 63 Christian and Jewish undergraduates coping with the 2005 hurricane season. Primary appraisals (interpretation of the stressor as a challenge, threat, loss, and benefit) and secondary appraisals (perception of whether self, others, and God have control over the stressor) were related to religion. By controlling for general religiousness, unique associations of specific beliefs with appraisals were identified. General religiousness was positively associated with interpreting hurricane-related events as a loss for the Christian participants and as a benefit for the Jewish participants. For both groups, general religiousness and God image were related positively to perception that God was in control, and verticality was related negatively to the perception of self-control. For Jewish participants, verticality was associated negatively with others-control and positively with God-control. Overall, general religiousness was more related to primary appraisals (relevance), and specific beliefs were associated with secondary appraisals (resources). Investigation of finely grained distinctions in religious belief furthers understanding of the roles of religion in coping.
